Robin Thicke reveals wife Paula left him over drug, alcohol addiction

Los Angeles: Robin Thicke’s several attempts to get wife Paula Patton back failed and now the singer has revealed that she ended their relationship because of his addiction problems. Thicke’s song Blurred Lines is facing a plagiarism lawsuit by Marvin Gaye’s family who claim that it is a rip off of Got to Give It Up. Thicke said while the song, which he says he claimed credit falsely, was climbing the charts, he was battling drug and alcohol problems. Under oath, Thicke said it was Pharrell Williams who wrote the number. The singer said Patton decided to end their relationship when he came clean to her about the song and his addiction problem, said People magazine.

The R&B crooner also touches on his very public split from Patton, 38. The actress left Thicke in February following rumors of his infidelity and his racy Blurred Lines performance with Miley Cyrus at the MTV Video Music Awards. “Do you consider yourself an honest person?” a prosecutor asked him during the deposition. “No. That’s why I’m separated,” Thicke responded, later adding, “I told my wife the truth. That’s why she left me.” PTI
